The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects - and share the stories of their lives...

At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shops owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends - Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and K.C. - exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgias heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughters life, her world is shattered.

Luckily, Georgias friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what theyve created isnt just a knitting club; its a sisterhood.

Kate Jacobs visits the Friday Night Book Club

The Friday Night Knitting Club

It was, we must admit, because we'd read that a celebrity was it Hilary Swank? It's a good thing, too, because despite being perfectly appealing to the avid knitters among us, the story uses knitting as merely as a background to a story about, well, life. More specifically, the Friday Night Knitting Club ahem weaves together the lives of a number of women in various stages and stations in life - some knitters, some not so much. It's easy to forget that the characters aren't your friends. Notice how we've restrained from thread-related cliches?

The stage is set when Georgia unexpectedly becomes pregnant by her boyfriend, James. Unsure about fatherhood, James leaves Georgia with barely a good-bye. James, who has been living abroad, moves back to New York, wanting to form a stronger bond with Dakota. Cathy commissions Georgia to knit an evening gown. Like James, Cathy attempts to restart her friendship with Georgia, but the gun-shy Georgia is wary of her old friend, especially after their disastrous friendship ended many years ago. As they reveal their own problems, their friendship among knitting needles and yarn strengthened — and eventually tested when one of the members becomes ill from ovarian cancer. The Friday Night Knitting Club is a book that would make a better movie.

Being directed by Mike Binder

I love the classy cover design, but I think why it took me so long to finish this book was that after the general introductions, the middle was slow. Now, some people may disagree with me, but hear me out. While the characters were all facing their own trials and tribulations, there were no actual conflicts until past the halfway point. For example no spoilers here! Can they work through it? Yes the reader wants to find out what happens, but it is certainly more intriguing after she speaks to her husband.

She'll be reading and signing copies of her novel at Powell's City of Books , W. Burnside that night. There will be open knitting beginning at 6 p. Kate's current tour is tied to the release of "The Friday Night Knitting Club" in paperback, so you can pick up a copy at Powell's or bring your hardback for her to sign. It tells the story of single mom Georgia Walker, who runs a knitting store in Manhattan, with help from her year-old daughter, Dakota. Of course, the relationships and the club of the title is at the heart of the story, and of the fictional Walker and Daughter. The store has it's own fun Web site, WalkerandDaughter.
